The versatile Brazil international has represented his country 10 times since making his debut back in 2009 and is comfortable at both left-back and further forward in midfield, making him an attractive proposition for Jens Keller's side.

"Contrary to manyreports and rumours there areno newplayersexpectedat Schalkefor a medicalcheck," the club's official Twitter account read.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas also denied that a deal to take the Brazil international to the Veltins Arena was close, stating that there had been no talks between the two clubs.

"Nothat's wrong.There is no discussionandno agreement," he revealed to 20minutes.fr.
